It’s your wedding day!
A celebration of love, hope, joy! You’ve been dreaming of it and planning it for a long time. You are sure you will remember every detail forever. But once the guests have gone home, the food has been eaten, and the gifts have been put away life goes on and memories fade...unless you have saved it all in photos. The beauty of photography is its ability to capture a moment, rekindle a memory, spark a feeling. Don’t trust your most cherished memories to just anyone with a camera. Find an experienced photographer whose style you like and put your day in their hands. You, your friends and relatives can relax and enjoy the day knowing each special moment and all the fun will be captured for them to relive and enjoy in years to come.
A good wedding photographer is a mixture of an artistic eye and a keen sense of timing to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Throughout the day I am constantly on the look out for photo opportunities others might miss.
Good photography also means the wedding day is just beginning of my job. Having great gear, and back-up gear, that can do the job is vital. Then there’s sorting, editing and re-touching to do and excellent computer skills are important to produce the most beautiful photos. Why? Because I shoot in what is known as RAW format - like a digital negative - which must be developed in the digital darkroom (computer) using specialized software - I use Lightroom and Photoshop. All images are individually processed by me. You get my very best. And rest assured, my work is triple backed-up.
Your Investment... Think of your wedding photography as an investment, something that you pay for now which gives back to you in the future. Photographic prints will last a lifetime. Remember looking at photos of your parents’ childhood or your grandparents’ wedding? You will be able to share the joyful memories, the funny moments and all the details in-between with future generations. While digital media is very popular, given its uncertain lifespan I recommend that one way or another you obtain archival-quality prints of your images. We still have photographs from the 1840s, but we don’t always have uncorrupted versions of digital files made just a few years ago!
